FF14 has more then enough time. Not being able to finish is more a sign of incompetence then "half finish". You don't "half finish" something with multi year deadline.

It's understandable if the deadline was moved on short noticed, but that's impossible given that SE announced it...what? a yr and a half in advance. A beta test of of 9months?

Heck I knew about FF14 before the E3 announcement because it was a pretty easy insider topic. That's how freakin long we knew in advance of the deadlines FF14 was on.

and after change they finally realized they did not have enough people working on the project so brought in more people. i believe they said up to 4 times as many. let me see how long do you think is plenty of time 2yrs? 3yrs? with the 1/4 the amount of people take those numbers and multiply them by 4. if se had as many people at their disposal, but wouldn't put them on the game during the production then it is their fault it is only half finished.

and if your homework is half finished you fail. this game was half finished so it failed.

Point is, it matters why it's half finished, not that it is, ultimately.
For SE, it seemed to be half finished because they didn't have the competency and proficiency to finish it on time That includes knowing how many people you need to do a task given an amount of time.

Well, a lot of standard things for MMOs in 2008 weren't in FFXIV at launch, so knowing SE, they'll release a game that this should have been at launch in 2010... in 2020.

You'll still game when you have kids and a career. You'll just have to relunctantly enter the world of casual gaming. We all had to do it dude. Then you'll realize how long it takes to level when you play less than 10 hours a week. But it'll also open your eyes to a whole new aspect of gaming. For example, you'll find yourself complaining a whole lot less about the game because you'll learn to enjoy simply siting in game while drinking a beer and not working, seeing what the wife wants now, or making sure the kids don't kill themselves. :cool:
